They should not be *rules*. If you try to formalize the definition of a "contribution", then we get into eternal niggling. If you feel like you have been unjustly left out of an acknowledgments section in a specific draft or RFC, argue your case. Let's not have yet more process and procedure and administration for issues that don't affect running code. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
